First Impression:

The CMStorm QuickFire Pro Mechanical Gaming Keyboard comes in a highly stylized packaging. The box is covered with photo-quality graphics and is mainly colored in the CM Storm colors of white, red and black. Once you open the packaging you will find that the QuickFire Pro is packaged very well. The first thing you see is a protective layer of clear plastic covering the keyboard. After that, the CM Storm QuickFire Pro is wrapped in a layer of flexible Styrofoam.

Quick Install Guide

Once it was fully unboxed, I noticed the QuickFire Pro is heaver than any other keyboard I have seen. It is about twice as heavy as the keyboard I was using previously. The CM Storm QuickFire Pro weighs 2.86lbs(1300g). Think of that in terms of bacon... That's almost three packages of your favorite sliced heaven.
